I studied 3D Design at Camberwell College of Arts and concentrated on ceramics very early on. I was fascinated with the materials but also felt there was a lack of good tableware on the market. The industry seemed to be lagging behind. It’s coming back now but I think table culture was lost for a while. The resurgence started with restaurants, with London becoming such a food hub, and I have to give chefs a lot of credit for changing the perception of food culture. They played a very important part in that. When you go to a restaurant you are also buying into an experience. It’s not just about good food, especially when you’re in the Michelin star category. Everything is taken into consideration: from the tableware to the lighting to the style of service.

I was keen to change the reputation of the industry. As a designer, I’m interested in changing something that is perceived quite negatively. It’s a challenge. If you start with something you love it’s much more difficult to improve upon. But if you choose something you don’t particularly like, it forces you to go deeper – Why don’t I like it? Why do I want to change it? How can I change it? It’s a better starting point for me.

The importance of lighting design in shaping the ambiance and functionality of a space cannot be overstated. Through the strategic placement and selection of Decorative Wall Lights, Decorative Ceiling Lights, and Luxury Floor Lamps, lighting design transcends mere illumination to become a pivotal element of interior decor. Decorative wall lights cast a warm, inviting glow that enhances the aesthetic appeal of a room, adding layers of depth and texture to the walls. Decorative ceiling lights serve as the crowning jewels of any space, drawing the eye upward and illuminating the room with a blend of style and functionality. Meanwhile, luxury floor lamps not only fill dark corners with light but also act as standalone pieces of art, contributing to the overall design narrative. Proper lighting design ensures that every room is not just seen but experienced, creating atmospheres that range from cozy and intimate to bright and energetic. In essence, the thoughtful integration of these lighting elements elevates a space from ordinary to extraordinary, underscoring the critical role of lighting design in the creation of beautiful, livable environments
